Power Meter Requirements

The HP E-series E9300 power sensors are NOT compatible with the earlier HP 430-Series, HP E1416A, or HP 70100A power meters. They are compatible ONLY with the HP EPM series power meters. Also, not all HP EPM series power meters are immediately compatible - your power meter must use firmware and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) from a specific release onwards. "Checking Power Meter Firmware and DSP Revision" on page 14 tells you how to check your power meter and have it upgraded if required.

The HP E-Series E9300 Power Sensors in Detail

The HP E-Series E9300 Power Sensors in Detail
Most power sensors used for measuring average power employ either thermocouple or dio de technologies. Diode based sensors frequent ly rely on the application of correction factors to extend their dynamic range beyond their square law response region, typically -70 dBm to -20 dBm. However, while this technique achieves wide dynamic range capability, it is limited to continuous wave (CW) signals outside the square law region. Modulated signals must be padded down or at low levels, with their average and peak power levels within the di ode square la w region, to be measured accurately. Accurate, average power measurement of high level signals carrying modulation cannot be obtained using a CW correction factor technique. Specialized modulation sensors provide accurate measurements but are bandwidth limited.
The HP E-series E9300 powe r sen sors a re true ave rage, wide dy namic r ange RF microwave power sensors. They are based on a dual sensor diode pair/attenuator /diode pair proposed by Sze nte et. al. in 1990 shows a block diagram of this technique.

The HP E-Series E9300 Power Sensors in Detail
This technique ens ures t he diodes i n th e sel ected signal path are kept i n their square law regio n, thus the out put curr ent (and voltage) is pro porti onal to the input power. The diode pair/attenuator/diode pair assembly can yield the average of complex modulation formats across a wide dynamic range, irrespective of si gnal bandwidth. The dual range Modif ied Barrier Int egrated

package includes further refinements to improve power
handling allowing accurate measurement of high level signals with high

crest factors without incurring damage
to the sensor.
These sensors measure average RF power on a wide variety of modulated signals and are independent of the modulation bandwidth. They are ideally suited to the average p ower measu rement of multi- tone a nd sprea d spect rum signals such as CDMA, W-CDMA and digital television formats. Also, pulsed, TDMA signals can be measured within the constraints detailed in

Measuring Spread Spectrum and Multitone Signals

Measuring Spread Spectrum and Multitone Signals
To achieve high data transfer rates within a given bandwidth, many transmission schemes are based around phase and amplitude (I and Q) modulation. These include CDMA, W-CDMA and digital television. These signals are chara cteri zed by t heir ap pea rance on a spect rum an alyzer displ ay
— a high amplitude noise-like signal of bandwidths up to 20 MHz. An 8 MHz bandwidth digital television signal is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Spread Spectrum Signal
Prior to the HP E-series E9300 power sensors, average power measurement over a wide dynamic range of these signals required either tuned/swept signal analyzer methods or a dual channel power meter connected to power sensors, pads and a power splitter.
The diode pair/attenuator/diode pair architecture of the HP E-series E9300 power sensors is ideally suited to the average power measurement of these signals. The sensors have wide dynamic range (-60 dBm to +20 dBm) and are bandwidth independent.
Some signal modulation formats such as orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and CDMA have large crest factors. The HP E-series E9300 power sensors can measure +20 dBm average power even in the presence of +13 dB peaks as long as the peak pulse duration is less than 10 microseconds.

Measuring Spread Spectrum and Multitone Signals

CDMA Signal Measurements

Figure 6 and Figure 7 show typical results obtained when measuring a CDMA signal. In these exam ples, the er ror is determined by measuring the source at the amplitude of interest, with and without CDMA modulation, adding attenuation until the difference between the two values stops changing. The CW sensor in Figure 6 uses correction factors to correct for power levels beyond its square law operating region.

Multitone Signal Measurements

In addition to wide dynamic range, the HP E-series E9300 power sensors also have an exceptionally flat calibration factor versus frequency response across the entire frequency range as shown in Figure 8. This is ideal for amplifier intermodul ation dist ortion measurement s where the c omponents of the two-tone or multitone test signal can be separated by hundreds of MHz.

Measuring TDMA Signals

Measuring TDMA Signals
Power Meter and Sensor Operation
The voltages generated by the diode detectors in the power sensor can be very small. Gain and signal conditioning are required to allow accurate measurement. This i s a chi eve d us ing a 220 Hz (440 Hz in fast mod e) squ are wave output from the power me ter to drive a choppe r-ampli fier in th e power sensor . Digital Sig nal Processi ng (DSP) of the gene rated square wave is used by the power meter to recover the power sensor output and accurately calculate the power level.
The chopper-amplifier technique provides noise immunity and allows large physical distances bet w ee n powe r s ens or and power meter (HP 11730 series cables available up to 61 metres). Additional averaging helps reduce noise susceptibility.

Achieving Stable Results with TDMA Signals

The averaging settin gs in the power mete r are designed to re duce noise when measuring continuous wave (CW) signals. Initial measurement of a pulsed signal may appear unstabl e with jitter on th e less signifi cant displayed digits. With pulsed signals the averaging period must be increased to allow measurement over many cycles of the pulsed signal.
To set the averaging proceed as follows:

Measurement Accuracy and Speed

Measurement Accuracy and Speed
The power meter has no internal ranges. The only ranges you can set are those of the HP E-series E9300 power sen sors (a nd other HP E-serie s power sensors). With an HP E-series E9300 power sensor the range can be set either automatically or manually. Use autoranging when you are not sure of the power level you are about to measure.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to your sensor do not exceed the power levels specified in the
section “Maximum Power” on page 30.

Setting the Range

There are two manual settings, “LOWER” and “UPPER”. The LOWER range uses the more sensitive -60 dBm to -10 dBm path in the HP E-series E9300 power sensors. The UPPER uses the attenuated path and covers the range of -10 dBm to +2 0 dBm. T he def aul t is “ AUTO”. In AUTO t he ra nge crossover value is -10 ±0.5 dBm.
Configure the power meter as follows:

Measurement Considerations

While autoranging is a good starting point, it is not id eal for all measurements. Signal conditions such as crest factor or duty cycle may cause the power meter to select a range which is not the optimum configuration for your specific
25
Making Measurements
Measurement Accuracy and Speed
measurement needs. Signals with average power levels close to the range
switch poin t (-10 ±0.5 dBm) require you to consider your needs for measurement accuracy and speed. For example, in a pulsed signal configured as follows:
Characteristic Value Peak Amplitude -6 dBm Duty Cycle 25 %
the calculated average power is -12 dBm.
Accuracy
Speed and Averaging
The value of -12 dBm li es in the lower range of the HP E-series E9300 power
sensor. In autoranging mode (“AUTO”) the HP EPM series power meter determines the average power level is below -10 dBm and selects the low power path. However , the peak amplitud e of -6 dBm is beyond the specified, square law response range of th e low power path diodes.The hig h power path (-10 dBm to +20 dBm) should be used to ensure a more accurate measurement of this signal. However, range holding in “UPPER” (the high power path), for a more accurate measurement, results in consider ably more filtering.
The same signal also requires that consideration is given to measurement speed. As shown above, in autorang ing mode the HP EPM series power meter selects the low power path in the HP E-series E9300 power sensor. With auto-averaging als o conf igure d, minimal fil teri ng is appl ied. Values of 1 to 4 for average power levels above -20 dBm are used in the low power path. (Refer to “Auto-averaging Settings” on page 19.)
If the range is held in “UPPER” for a more accuracy, the measurement is slower . Mo re filt erin g is app lied due to the incre ase in no ise sus cepti bili ty at the less sensitive are a of th e hi gh power path. Values of 1 to 128 for average power leve ls less than -10 dBm are used. (Again, refer to “Auto-averaging Settings” on page 19.) Manually lowering the filter settings speeds up the measurement but can result in an unwanted level of jitter.
Summary
Attention must be paid to signa ls whose av erage power levels are in the low power path range whilst thei r peaks are in the high power path ra nge. Y ou can achieve best accuracy by selecting the high power path or best speed by selecting the low power path.

Switching Point

Zero Set, Zero Noise and Measurement Noise

The HP E-series E9300 power sensors have two paths, a low power path covering -60 dBm to -10 dBm, and a high power path covering -10 dBm to +20 dBm. The power meter aut omatically selects th e proper power level path . To avoid unnecessary switching when the power level is near the -10 dBm point, Switching Point Hysteresis has been added. This hysteresis causes the low power path to remain selected until approximat ely -9.5 dBm as the po wer level is increas ed, abo ve this power the hi gh power path is s elect ed.The h igh power path remains selected until approximately -10.5 dBm as the signal level decreases, below this power the low power path is selected.

Calibration Factor and Reflection Coefficient

Calibration Factor (CF) and Reflection Coefficient (Rho) data are provided on a data sheet included with the power sensor. This data is unique to each sensor. If you have more than one sensor, match the serial number on the data sheet with the ser ial nu mber on the powe r senso r you are usi ng. The CF corrects for the frequency response of the sensor. HP EPM series power meters automatically read the CF data stored in the sensor and use it to make the corrections.
Reflection Coefficient (Rho, or ρ) relates to the SWR according to the following formula:
SWR
1 ρ+
------------=
1 ρ
Maximum uncertainties of the CF data are listed in the following tables. As the HP E-series E9300 power sensors have two independent measurement paths (high and low power paths), there are two calibration factor uncertainty tables for each sensor. The uncertainty analysis for the calibration of the sensors was done in accordance with ISO Guide. The uncertainty data reported on the calibration certificate is the expanded uncertainty with a 95% confidence level and a coverage factor of 2.

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) and Reflection Coefficient (Rho) Performance Test

This section does not establish preset SWR test procedures since there are several test methods and different equipment available for testing the SWR or reflection c oeff icient. Therefore , the a ctual acc uracy of the tes t equipment must be accounted for when measuring against instrument specifications to determine a pass or fail condition. The test system used must not exceed the system Rho uncertainties shown in Table 1 when testing the HP E9300A, or in Table 2 when testing the HP E9301A.

Service instructions consist of principles of operation, troubleshooting, and repairs.

Principles of Operation

The A1 Bulkhead assembly provides a 50 ohm load to th e RF signal appl ied to the power s ensor. A dual range GaAs diode pair/a ttenuator/diode pair assembly in the bulkhead rectifies the applied RF to produce dc voltages (high and low rang es) whic h vary wi th the RF power a cross t he 50 oh m load. Thus the voltage varies with the RF power dissipated in the load.
The low-level dc voltages from the bulkhead assembly are amplified before they are transferr ed on standard cables to the power meter. The amplification is provided by an input amplifier assembly which consists of a chopper (sampling gate) and an input amplifier. The chopper circuit converts the dc voltages to ac voltages. The chopper is controlled by a 220 Hz square wave generated by the power meter. The amplitude of the sampling gate output is a 220 Hz square wave which varies with the RF power input. The 220 Hz ac output is applied to an amplifier which provides the input to the power meter.
The HP EPM series p ower met er automatically dete ct s when an HP E-series E9300 power sensor is connected and downloads the correction data from
the sensor’s EEPROM. The auto-averaging settings are also configured automatically for use with HP E-series E9300 power sensors. This configures the power meter to operate over the -60 dBm to +20 dBm power range with that particular sensor’s unique correction data applied.

Troubleshooting

Trouble shoo ting infor mation is inte nded t o first iso late the power sens or, the cable, or the power meter as the defective component. When the power sensor is isolate d, an approp riate Se nsor Module mus t be used for repa ir. See Table 3 on page 44.

Service
Service
If error message 24 1 or 310 is indicated on t he power met er, suspec t a failed power sensor. If no error message is displayed, but a problem occurs when making a measurement, try replacing the cable from the power met er to the power sensor . I f the proble m still exists , try using a di ffe rent power sensor to determine if the problem is in the power meter or in the power sensor.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge will render the power sensor inoperative. Do not, under any
circumstances, open the power sensor unless you and the power sensor are in a static free environment.

Repair of Defective Sensor

There are no serviceable parts inside the HP E-series E9300 power sensors.
If the sensor is defective, replace the entire “module” with the appropriate “Restored Sensor Module.” See Table 3.
